Intramuros, Manila

For just a few days I’ve been transformed to a turista of Manila. Not bad, this place has a lot to offer.. and isn’t it just right to discover corners of your own before hovering other countries. “Huwag maging dayahun sa sariling bayan,” is my battle cry now…

Philippine history is not a favorite subject of mine (centuries back to my school days!) but after Paco Park, I realized it’s never too late to catch up on some basic Philippine History lessons…I just wonder how much information my brain digested yesterday when I stopped by Intramuros to take some photos. Well…photographs are reminders of things of the past…the distant and the not so distant past!

First lesson : Koreans discovered that Intramuros (particularly this spot in front of Manila Cathedral) is a nice place for shooting, I don’t know if it’s a film or a commercial they’re doing.

Imagine how excited I was when I saw a crew shooting at exactly the same time I went to Intramuros… Come on, it’s probably my chance to have a glimpse of Nora Aunor…grrrr!!!! Wait a minute is Nora Aunor still existing??? I mean in the celebrity kind of existence… Owww, I remember now… she has sealed her demise in the entertainment business by marrying a lesbian ( by all means, marrying a lesbian is not a bad thing after all, don’t get me wrong) a lesbian who looks exactly like her (that’s the thing!)…peace!!!

Where am I??? So imagine how disappointed I was when I discovered that it’s the Koreans…nothing against Koreans…but what else have they not discovered in this country…they’re everywhere…I mean… Boracay…spas…fitness centers…They are the new Magellans…aha!!!

Second Lesson: The next President of the Republic is just around the corner of Intramuros

An EQ/IQ level a step higher than Noynoy’s… he has better sense of humor than Gordon…more endearing than Erap…more handsome than Gibo and mind you..he is tunay na mahirap (unlike Villar). This coming elections…I’ll vote for him for President…

I got a problem, though… I did not ask for his name… and I did not register to vote.!!!!
